Prerequisites

• Rust
• Cargo

2-Layered Blockchain Implementation Roadmap:

• Setup Initial Codebase

  • Create a new Rust project using cargo.
  • Define the basic project structure.
  • Set up dependencies in the Cargo.toml file.

• Implement Single Node Chain (Layer 1)

  • Create a basic block structure.
  • Implement Proof of Work (PoW) consensus for Layer 1.
  • Develop functions for adding blocks to the main chain.

• Implement Multiple Node Chain (Layer 1)

  • Extend the code to handle multiple nodes in Layer 1.
  • Implement peer-to-peer communication for nodes in Layer 1.

• Make Central Chain (Layer 2)

  • Create a new module for Layer 2 functionality.
  • Define a specialized block structure for Layer 2.
  • Design a consensus mechanism for Layer 2 (e.g., PBFT).

• Connect Layer 2 to Layer 1

  • Develop a mechanism for Layer 2 to connect with the main chain.
  • Enable communication between Layer 1 and Layer 2 nodes.
  • Implement data exchange and confirmation between the layers.

• Documentation and Refinement

  • Document the code and system architecture.
  • Refine the code for clarity and maintainability.
  • Consider adding comments and docstrings where necessary.
